Big PR for Katie Miale at 20km racewalk


Congrats to senior racewalker Katie Miale for noticing a personal-best time by 5 minutes, 30 seconds for the 20km distance, with a time of 1:50:58 in New Jersey on Sunday morning. In so doing, she inches closer to the Olympic Trials standard of 1:48:00, already achieved by her teammates Lauren Harris and Kayla Shapiro. This big jump will give her a big boost of confidence. “I’m glad I put myself out there and I think I can get the standard the next time around,’’ she wrote in a post-race text along with these splits and this photo.
